Where the Buffalo Roam

The National Bison Range, Montana. Established in 1908
it is one of the oldest Wildlife Refuges in the
nation and is home to
about 350-500 of these animals. Because of
its open grasslands, the Bison Range is a place
for the public to enjoy some excellent wildlife
observation and photography.
